The No Child Left Behind Act was legislation designed to insure that public schools are reaching all students. It does this through a focus on high-stakes testing. The act was established in 2001.
What we believed before...
School is for the kids who can. Too bad if a child isn't doing well in school. That's their problem.
What we believed after...
We should reach every kid.
How do schools still act as if we have the "old" belief?
Teachers are still trying to develop the strategies to reach every student. We still do a better job reaching some students than others.
